We have another example of a paid app going free-to-play and jumping immediately to the top of the Apple App Store.

But here’s what’s different: Sonic Dash, the app in question, was already a top paid app on the App Store — and was well within shooting distance of the top grossing apps on the store.

The game is basically a Sonic-esque version of Temple Run. However, instead of controlling Sonic with directional buttons like the games have traditionally required, this game is dominated by swiping and tapping like other modern iPhone and iPad games.

The results are pretty much exactly what you would expect: straight to the top of the store.
